So I was asked to post some pics and sizes of what I'm using for a decked system, so here you go
Looking at the back, tailgate open, drawers closed, Ignore crap



So earlier I had posted some measurements that were not quite right.
It's 50 inches wide on outside, 57 1/2 from tailgate forward, and from floor up is 8 1/2. The empty space at the front is where My compressor, Circular saw, Nail Guns, and other large tools live. Those are accessed from the front of the bed( I have a Fold-A-Cover tonneau and they open from both sides)
All drawers open, Holds a lot of tools and equip.



3 separate drawers



From the top



Inside one of the drawer bays



OK, so now how it all goes together and works.
I wanted maximum usable space sooo...
The slides you see on the drawer bay are 1/4 above the floor of the bed they are hdpe (Had some laying around)
Those rails are actually 1/2 birch plywood cut on an angle to fit into the ribs of the bed, there are five of those, one holding each drawer divider.
So on each side the rails have a small lip which goes around the wheel well, this eliminates having to bolt it down to the truck.
It is made as 3 separate modules, the driver side module goes from the drivers wheel well to the inside of the middle drawer and includes the center drawer slide.
The passenger side is a mirror of the driver side.
There is no bottom of the box, other than the truck bed.
the center is topped by a same height panel that is removable for easy system removal from the truck.
the drawer stops are made by a morticed board that goes across the entire back of the bed and is notched into each side of the outer drawer modules and is the height of the top of the bed ribs so it cannot move and keeps the outer modules together, It is not fastened, it stays in place by the mortises in each side modules.
Each drawer has a tab on the bottom that slides in the bed rib in the center of each drawer cavity and hits the morticed board in the rear of the bed, this makes the drawer stop work and keeps the drawer straight in the module.
You pick the drawer up 1/2 inch to clear the morticed board when you pull the drawer out and when you push it back in it falls behind the board and locks the drawer. All done with no holes or bolts into the truck
Ok, so that's the rough of it , any questions just ask, I can do pics of areas any one is curious about as well.
Sorry for the long post but I hope it answered the questions

 

Now there is a truck being used for what it was designed to do. Nice work!

 

Nicely done.

Bonus points for the palm tree reflection in your back window.

 

Never noticed that, It looks cool though

 

Gebo21! First off we would like to commend you on your resourcefulness. This is exactly how we started with our product evolution. Solving a very real problem that seems to afflict everyone who works with their truck. The concept you have there looks great!

We would also like to thank you for your naming of your creation. It is flattering to have guys out there making their own "DECKED" systems! Hopefully you get many years of use out of it!

Would you mind if we shared your photos?

Daddy want!

 

Not at all, I would be flattered. I probably should have cleaned it though, But then again it is a work truck.

 

Those drawers look heavy. Do you have anything on the bottom to help them slide out easier or do they come out easy on their own?

 

They are heavy, But slide just fine with the help of a 1 in wide by 1/8 thick strip of HDPE plastic on each rub rail under the drawers. check this pic. The white is the strips



It also shows the cross rail that stops the drawer from opening on it's own when driving with tailgate open. each drawer has a tab on the bottom that catches the rail. You must pick the front of the drawer up 1/2 inch to clear before you can open it

 

This is a work in progress and subject to change, The first system I built for this truck was a bit different, It worked great But I got tired of getting into the bed to open drawers, but it did leave more of the bed open for large tools. I think my final system will probably be some type of hybrid of the this and that system. BTW the original system is up for grabs for the price of 4 sets of 22 inch self closing drawer slides,(what is used on the drawers in it, 20. ea.)Tools not included. It was designed with the idea of fitting under the fold-a-cover tonneau so the boxes on each side are accessed from the top and the drawers from the rear. It also had to have the ability for sheets of plywood to fit in without being hindered by the box( that's why the gap under the drawers) Also another requirement was no holes in bed to mount, that is a requirement on the new one as well. Functionality is perfect, it did exactly what i designed it for except the self closing slides on the drawers couldn't handle the weight on hard acceleration and would open. That's why you see the vertical rods in front of the drawers in the pics, those keep them closed.This setup was designed to work with the undercover boxes, which the new one won't. Questions? Comments? Suggestions? 'cause I'm not fully satisfied yet and think a bit of improvement is still possible, So any of your ideas are appreciated.
